* checks/*:
+ [NT] Fixed assumptions about certain fields being present.

"weak-library-dev-dependency" for some mono packages. Thanks
to David Bremner for the report. (Closes: #652602)
+ [NT] Emit a tag if there is a syntax error in d/control rather
than just aborting the rest of the check.

templates in comments. Thanks to Paul Wise for suggesting this
check. (Closes: #657110)

+ [JW] Fixed a false-negative "empty-binary-package" if the
package contained the /u/s/doc/$pkg symlink.
(Closes: #650959)

Triplett for the suggestion, investigative work and the
proposed patch to make this possible. (Closes: #636086)
+ [JW] Add Build-Dependency on python-numpy and python-all-dev
for the test suite.
+ [NT] Bumped Lintian's Standards-Version to 3.9.3. No changes

+ [NT] Added override for python-dev tag. We need python-all-dev
for the test suite.

the internal Lintian locale can removed if libc-bin is upgraded
after Lintian.
* doc/lintian.xml:
+ [NT] Corrected the runtime estimate for an archive-wide run.
With 35 000+ packages, it can no longer be done in "a few
hours".

This will make Lintian select all packages related to a given
source (and version).
+ [NT] Removed check loading code. This has been moved into
Lintian::Profile.
+ [NT] Always load a profile.
+ [NT] Allow TMPDIR in the configuration file.
+ [NT] Treat "pedantic" as a normal severity. In previous
release, pedantic tags were not affected by --display-level.
A side-effect of this is that "pedantic" can no longer be
used with "display-level" in the configuration file.
+ [NT] Produce a better error message when asked to process an
URL or a path that is definitely not a valid lab query.
Thanks to Nicholas Bamber for the report. (Closes: #651332)

+ [NT] Fixed an error in parsing symbol names when using readelf
as replacement for objdump.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Group.pm:
+ [NT] Made direct_dependencies properly handle udebs. This fixes
an error that would cause lintian to skip some checks for udebs.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Package.pm:
+ [NT] Map an owner/group of "0/0" to "root/root". This avoids a
number of false-positive ownership tags if only numerical
ownership is available in the tarball. Thanks to Thorsten
Glaser for the report. (Closes: #638278)
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
+ [NT] Removed assumption that source packages always have a
format field.
* lib/Lintian/Lab.pm:
+ [NT] Added "is_temp" method to identify temp labs from static
labs.

+ [NT] Emit "malformed-override" for architecture specific tags for
unknown architectures and for "arch:all" packages.
+ [NT] Use a Profile to determine if a tag is suppressed or not.
+ [NT] Handle "pedantic" like the other severities.
+ [NT] Count experimental tags as a separate group of tags. This
fixes an issue where lintian would exit 1 if the only error
tags emitted were experimental. (Closes: #658971)
* lib/Util.pm:
+ [NT] Create clean_env function to handle cleaning of the
environment for children processes and finding a suitable UTF-8
locale (when needed).

in syntax errors. Thanks to Jari Aalto for the suggestion.
(Closes: #659909)

its binaries are processed as well.
+ [NT] Also symlink $LINTIAN_BIN_DIR/gpgv to /bin/true when
skipping signature checks. This avoids issues when some tools
prefers gpgv to gpg.
* reporting/html_reports:
+ [JW] Properly handle uploader names with commas.
+ [NT] Use the severities from profiles when generating tag pages.
Based on patches from Evan Broder. (Closes: #650712)
+ [NT] Removed tag loading code, which has moved into
Lintian::Profile.
+ [NT] Pass a profile to the templates (as $profile) instead of the
old %all hash.
+ [NT] List only source packages on the "packages_X.html" pages.
* reporting/templates/tags-all.tmpl:
+ [NT] Use $profile instead of the %all hash.

Architecture: any package that Build-Depends: lintian, so this helps
multiarch cross-building slightly).
* debian/lintian.install:
+ [NT] Removed unpack which was removed.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [NT] Collections explicitly requested (by -U) are no longer
auto-removed. Previously the only way to prevent auto-removal
was to use --keep-lab.
+ [NT] Removed all archive-wide testing code. This has been moved
into reporting/harness. This deprecates a lot options and config
variables (--arch, --archivedir, --area, --dist, --section and
LINTIAN_{ARCH,ARCHIVEDIR,AREA,DIST}).
+ [NT] Support new lab query format, replacing the old "package
name"-based search.

Lab::Package modules.
* lib/Lintian/Lab.pm:
+ [JW,NT] Correctly handle $TMPDIR not being an absolute path.
(Closes: #642113)
+ [NT] New lab layout style resembling the "pool" dirs of the
Debian mirrors. This allows more than 32 000 packages of a
given type in the laboratory. It also allows multiple
versions/architectures of the same package in static labs.
A feature previously only enabled in temporary labs. The new
layout is incompatible with the old format. (Closes: #641468)
* lib/Lintian/Output.pm:
+ [NT] Minor refactoring to simplify creation of the FullEWI
module.
* lib/Lintian/Output/FullEWI.pm:
+ [NT] New experimental output. More machine-friendly version
of the normal Lintian output format.
* lib/Lintian/Output/XML.pm:
+ [NT] Use self-closing tags (if possible) and do not write
attributes with an empty value.
* lib/Lintian/Processable.pm:
+ [NT] Reduced to an abstract class. The "old" implementation
has been put into Lintian::Processable::Package.
* lib/Lintian/Processable/Package.pm:
+ [NT] New file.
+ [NT] Changed the "name" of changes files. It is now equal to
the name of the source package. Previously it was the filename
(without extension and without the dir part).
* lib/Read_pkglists.pm:
+ [NT] Removed - replaced by Lintian::Lab::Manifest.
* lib/Util.pm:
+ [NT] Stricten the parser to not accept a field name with a ":".
This could cause the parser to eat the first part of the value,
if it contained a colon and there was no space before the value.
Thanks to Pino Toscano for reporting the issue.
+ [JW] Explicitly check that files are not encoded using ISO-2022,
when they should be encoded with UTF-8. (Closes: #643009)
+ [JW] Use "paragraph" and "field" rather than "section" and "tag"
when referring to a Debian control file.
* man/lintian.pod.in:
+ [NT] Fixed a typo, thanks to Evgeni Golov for spotting it,
* private/generate-lintian-pod:
+ [NT] Document which collections are auto-removed by default in
static labs.
* profiles/ubuntu/main.profile:
+ [NT] Disable no-upstream-changelog and lzma-deb-archive for
Ubuntu. Thanks to Evan Broder for the report and patch.
(Closes: #648117)
* reporting/*:
+ [NT] Recognise and display pedantic tags.
+ [JW] Only emit "plus X overrides" if there any overrides.
* reporting/{harness,html_reports}:
+ [NT] Do not accept LINTIAN_UNPACK_LEVEL nor LINTIAN_SECTION
anymore. The lintian frontend lost support for these in
2.5.0~rc3.
* reporting/harness:
+ [NT] Refactored to handle the archive-wide checking directly.
+ [NT] Use the new FullEWI output format for the archive-wide
logs.
* reporting/html_reports:
+ [NT] Ensure source tags appear before binary tags.
(Closes: #580945)
+ [NT] Supports the FullEWI output format.
* t/*:
+ [NT] Skip some tests broken by a recent dpkg upload.
(Closes: #643205)
* unpack/*:
+ [NT] Removed, no longer used.
